Pittsburg State University’s Kelce College of Business offers one of the best and most affordable Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees in the nation, according to the online business education and career guide, Top Management Degrees.

 

Pitt State’s MBA degree is ranked second on Top Management Degrees’ “Top 50 Affordable MBA Programs 2016” list, which was released this month. The list includes universities from across the U.S., including Auburn University, Indiana University and the University of Michigan.

 

According to TMD, the top 50 were selected from a list of more than 500 schools in the U.S. that hold accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, widely regarded as the gold standard for business school accreditors.

 

“When choosing the right on-campus MBA program for you, there are many factors to consider, including location, accreditation, reputation, completion time, accessibility, available specializations, and affordability,” TMD states on its website. “An MBA is a serious investment of time and money, thus each student needs to find the best program, to fit their schedule, and provide the biggest return on investment.”

 

Pitt State’s Kelce College of Business offers a 34-credit-hour MBA program. This program is offered in a full-time and part-time format with classes offered during the day and in the evening. Students are given the choice of three concentrations to choose from: accounting, general administration, or international business.

 

Paul Grimes, dean of the Kelce College of Business, said he’s proud, but not surprised, to see PSU’s MBA program on a list with the nation’s best.

 

“We’ve long regarded our MBA program as one of the top choices for business students nationwide,” Grimes said. “Our faculty are second-to-none, and students who pursue an MBA degree from Pitt State enjoy the highest quality educational experience. Being named to this Top 50 list is a testament to our hard work, dedication and commitment to excellence.”

 

The MBA program at Pitt State is also consistently ranked among the nation’s top business programs by the Princeton Review.
